Description
Crispy and flavorful chicken wings tossed in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, made easily in your air fryer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken wings, split into drumettes and flats
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thicker sauce)
- 1 tbsp water (optional, if using cornstarch)
Instructions
- Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. In a bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer in your air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
- While the wings are cooking, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and grated ginger.
- Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it simmers. If you want a thicker sauce, whisk together cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then stir it into the simmering sauce. Cook for another minute until thickened.
- Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispy wings, ensure they are completely dry before air frying.
- If you don’t have fresh ginger, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger.
- Adjust the amount of honey or soy sauce to your preference for sweetness or saltiness.
